Stocks fell on Wednesday. Yes, you read that right: It was the first serious sell-off in three weeks.

We can point to several factors that drove the market lower, including a World Bank report lowering its forecast for global growth. There's also the fall of several major cities in Iraq to al-Quida aligned forces, the shocking primary loss of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), and good old-fashioned profit taking after several days of record highs.

The biggest loser among the Dow stocks was Boeing (BA), down more than 2 percent after a downgrade by RBC Capital. Boeing was one of the Dow's best gainers in 2013, but so far this year, is slightly in the red.

Airline stocks moved broadly lower, hurt by an earnings warning from the German carrier Lufthansa, and concern that its problems could spread across the Atlantic. United-Continental (UAL) fell 5 percent, while American (AAL) and Delta (DAL) both lost 3 percent.

After you get off the plane, you often check into the hotel -- and those didn't do too well Wednesday either.

Hilton (HLT) fell 2½ percent after Blackstone Group (BX) said it will sell more than 100 million shares, though it will still maintain a majority stake in Hilton.

And Marriott (MAR) fell 1½ percent on a ratings downgrade to "neutral" by Macquarie Capital.

But some semiconductor stocks bucked the downtrend. Rambus (RMBS) jumped 5 percent as it raised its sales outlook. The stock is up more than 60 percent over the past year.

In Denmark, more than 75 percent of the people are members of trade unions. In America today, as a result of the political and economic power of corporate America and the billionaire class, we are seeing a sustained and brutal attack against the economic well-being of the American worker. As the middle class disappears, benefits and guarantees that workers have secured over the last century are now on the chopping block. Republicans, and too many Democrats, are supporting cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, nutrition, education, and other basic needs -- at the same time as the very rich become much richer. Workers' rights, the ability to organize unions, and the very existence of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are now under massive assault.

Idiot. Having a majority of people in unions does not define whether a country is socialist.....one of the dumbest thing you've ever posted...and you've posted plentt o' dumbness.

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

High percentage of workers belonging to a labour union. In 2010, labour union density was 69.9% in Finland, 68.3% in Sweden, and 54.8% in Norway. In comparison, labour union density was 12.9% in Mexico and 11.3% in the United States.

They ought to remploym people befire they do dumb stuff like trade deals and cap and trade. If the government had to guarantee replacement jobs most of this job killing legislation would end up in the waste basket.

Thanks to the numb nut lefty liberals who put our liar in chief in office, twice, our economy is in the toilet, dispite what the excrement pushers like huff puff/aol will try to lie to us. obama's every move is designed to destroy this once great country. Take your pick, letting illegals move in and rob the tax payers and take away jobs, put the squeeze on oil, gas and coal production to send fuel and food prices skyrocketing, obamacare which has made us a nation of part time workers who must subsidize those who chose to be dead beats. Great work numb nuts i'm sure your children will thank you for helping to make the United States a socialist country where all are equally poor and miserable, that is unless they are as brain dead as you are.

Gee, I'm sorry that your coal futures have taken such a hit, but don't you think that dealing with Climate Change is important?

Maybe if you actually read the news in more detail, you would know that the recent rise is food costs is led by skyrocketing hog prices due to disease ravaging southern hog farms, and western ranchers having to thin their herds due to lack of rainfall because of Climate Change.

We are far from being a socialist country you misinformed fool. Socialist countries a majority of their citizens belong to a Union. I hope you enjoy paying (Corporate Welfare) subsidies for big oil companies because the Republicans want to keep them in place even though big oil companies are making record profits. It was Obama and the democrats who wanted to get rid of them but the TPGOP blocked it. You must have been born yesterday it was Bush and the Repukes who destroyed our economy when it collapsed in 2008. You need to check your tin foil hat because it's cutting off blood supply to your brain.
